Opinion Pies to play Metallica Nothing Else Matters as pregame entertainment

[Andrewy]

Of course as we leave Etihad after an away game

 

[Daicos Torpedo]

Nothing else matters?
What a Massive insult to All Australian bands, especially Melbourne bands.
For me, this is a perfect song for the year.
It should be plural, as boys named E Maguire and N Buckley will, or should be sacked, and dacked by us all if by round 8 we are not in the 8....

Painters and Dockers
The Boy who lost his jocks on Flinders St Station

 

[Linda_Lovelace]

**** off. This club has just about lost me. Some old fashioned US rock group. Give me a spell

Lol, yeah with two of the top 50 rated guitarists of all time banging away.

 

[Linda_Lovelace]

Sourced from music lover at extreme black and white. Words to nothing else matters adapted for the Pies

Netball, no matter who cares
Couldn't be further from a flag
Forever president of this club
And nothing else matters

Never challenge myself any more
Club is mine, I live it my way
All these words, I just feed chooks
And nothing else matters

Pubs and netball and charities too
Every day for us something new
I'm back on the footy show
And nothing else matters

Never cared about members
Never cared for what they want
And I'm Pres ....

Nathan's coach, that's how I want it
How many years until my statue?
Forever trusting my sons' calls
And nothing else matters

 

[cityslick1]

'For whom the bell tolls' would probably be more apt...

 

[MagpieJoel]

**** off. This club has just about lost me. Some old fashioned US rock group. Give me a spell

They have just lost you? Only now? Over a song?

 

[The Plowking]

Half time entertainment.
Who am I kidding. Quartertime likely.

Album version

 

[Simon_Nesbit]

Lol, yeah with two of the top 50 rated guitarists of all time banging away.

Don't forget one of the greatest bassist of all time. RIP Cliff. (Trujillo just a pale imitation but damn good in his own right)
One of the best lead guitarists of all time. (Mustaine - Kirk's still an imposter 30 years later)
One of the best rhythym guitarists (Hetfield)
....err and Lars.

When I heard they were using a "Metal" song, I knew it would be Metallica - what other metal bands are commercially 'safe' enough to use? So many great songs, awesome riffs, repeating chorus to make for easily manipulated singalong/15 second sets.

Seek and Destroy. Jump in the Fire. Whiplash. Four Horseman.
All of Ride the Lightning (seriously that Album is awesome and horribly underrated)
Sanitarium. Battery. Master of Puppets

Even Enter Sandman - safe, predictable - boring. (Hurt by media saturation, but a good song in and of itself).

But Nothing Else Matters?

The song that 'ruined' Metallica. When Jaymez (seriously - who does that?) wrote that for his girlfriend at the time, it was the beginning of the end.

 

[Scritchyscroony]

Oh great. My game day experience gets even more unenjoyable!

 

[Scritchyscroony]

Some of us take our taste in music very seriously. Metallica could be the final straw for the few supporters we have with non bogan music taste.

Why not “One”? The opening verse sounds like a man sitting through a Collingwood game;

“I can’t remember anything,
Can’t tell if this is true or dream
But deep down inside I feel the scream,
This terrible silence stops with me

Now that the war is through with me,
I’m waking up, I cannot see
That there’s not much left of me,
Nothing is real but pain now

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God help me!”

(Sorry if I got a line or two wrong, I haven’t heard this song in at least a decade and I’m going from memory).

Kirk says hello...

 

[Carringbush2010]

If we keep going the way we're going, no one will turn up to listen to it.

How about we have some game time entertainment with some winning footy - y'know something that will give us some optimism.

 

[Chameleon75]

Nothing on Igor the one man band

Yeah....uuum.
Not bogan music.
Alas some Bogans like it, particularly the more commercial songs.

 

[Morganashlee]

Who cares it’s a song.

Just kick some ******* goals you peanuts

 

[BEEG]

Would be pretty cool, doubt they would bother they couldn't give a * about us supporters.

 

[Scritchyscroony]

this'd be more appropriate...

 

[Carringbush2010]

Wake me up when September ends - Greenday

Probably more appropriate

 

[BringouttheGimp]

Shaddap you face - Joe Dolce

That is the best guitar work I have ever heard in a song, the way it builds it awesome. I get exhausted listening to it, don't know how they play it live.

What I love is 'bogan' band. Yet if you know what is behind the lyrics, more meaning than most.

 

[Scritchyscroony]

another suggestion...

 

[Linda_Lovelace]

Well this one sums us up, but if we could get the girls to perform, i'll show up for sure

Some of us aren't music snobs and have diverse tastes.

The voice of reason.........thanks Morgs
